[Husker] Recruiting

[David Elfering]

Right! Yes it was Aaron Taylor.  I remember reading an interview talking about having a bit of an axe to grind. 

I wonder if Baron Miles, one of my favorite all time secondary players, was highly recruited? I will never forget him shutting down CU's Michael Westbrook in the 94 regular season. People threw his way because they saw a 5'9" corner opposite Tyrone Williams. 

You are also right about a lot of the recruiting guys favoring certain parts of the country, which to an extent is probably natural.
